The Threat of Immortality. (Review of the book: Kutyrev V.A. Man of Technology. Civilization of falsism. St. Petersburg : Aleteyya, 2022. 288 p.)

Abstract

In his last book V.A. Kutyrev explains to the society tormented by the Pandemic and the Technos what is happening to him. He screams about the lack of alternatives of the soul, eternity, faith, freedom and other imperishable archaism, that the unquenchable thirst for new technologies inevitably revolves around the mortal corporality. “Brains in a jar, neural networks, cerebral chips, supersensitive implants, symmetry of people and things, nanomachines, technological singularity, COVID-certification”. Kutyrev does not allow all sorts of stuff to be blured and reveals their anti-human essence in his post-COVID bestseller. “Fake, imaginary, fictitious, counterfeit, sham, hypocritical, false, deceitful, parasitic, feigned, falsified, simulated” – these are the various epithets of the civilization of falsity, the global mechanism of falsification, the ideology of simulacra.
